I found a thought

Thinking, contemplating, conjuring
Searching for a hint of a thought;
Wondering, pondering, blending.
In the wickedness of the world
A pure innocence or circumstance?
Perhaps just drunken words, hurled.
Riddle me this?
Is it blind or wide eyed like an owl in the night
A love that might... in that blissful kiss.
Do we dare wield such swords?
Slicing our very souls in the night!
Such exquisite, elegant, succulent words...
Is it fated or just casual coincidence
That justifies our external actions;
Or just another moonlit dance.
Bleeding hearts and falling petals
Whiskey dreams and sweet slumbers;
Fast rides and burning pedals.
Accelerate, accelerate! My quiet heartbeat!
In this nowhere, anywhere, everywhere!
In the chill, the very air we heat.
Is it wicked or playful innocence?
Temptation or determination?
The dance we dance without pants...
Burning! Searing! Bodies shaking!
Frost touched lips and heated mist;
A dream, a thought? Another waking...

Puzzle Pieces

Puzzle pieces...

Puzzle pieces, probably the best way to describe you and I. Her and him, we and them.

Puzzle pieces... a menagerie of all the things that make up our lives. From jobs, to hobbies, to the little things we do to start our day.

Puzzle pieces... as we journey and move thru this life. We slowly put those pieces, the pieces of our lives together. Forming a picture of each of our lives.

Puzzle pieces... your jumbled pieces and my jumbled pieces. As we go along, we try to put others into our puzzles, piece by piece. Sometimes molding, sometimes a little effort is needed to click them into place.

Puzzle pieces... sometimes, just sometimes someone comes along who fits with your pieces. Forming a grander picture then you thought. Without effort they just click... click, click, click!

Puzzle pieces... your jumbled pieces and my jumbled pieces become OUR  jumbled pieces. Clicking, starting, forming our tomorrow, our life... with just a few clicks of puzzle pieces...

oh, there you are!

Twas a silver spoon
Perhaps the stars aligned;
A wink and a nod from the man in the moon.
Perhaps paces at high noon
That granted you and I
A dance under the moon, that silver spoon.
Perhaps it was a falling star
A wish, to open a door;
To peak in... oh, there you are!
Perhaps it was cupid and a little bow
A shot in the dark, did it hit the mark?
Two, just maybe... one, with a little arrow
Surely, twas a silver spoon
Stars and the cosmos aligned
A wink and a nod from that man in the moon.
A falling star, that opened a door
To peak in... and see; oh, there you are!

A compendium of poetic moments (volume 1)

That someday

I see a future, a someday
A day of waking, rejoicing;
I'm looking back smiling on that day
I see smiles, hugs, laughter
A day I need nothing more
Just listening to the random loving chatter.

I see that great beyond, that tomorrow
Filled with love, warmth, togetherness;
The joy overwhelms, drowning the sorrow
I see embraces, hope, tenderness
A day that continually flows
No more lost in the wilderness.

I see such a life, a world, a family
Having all I ever wanted...
A happily ever after, happily.
I see kisses and futures beyond
Wholeness, completeness;
The journey led me to where I belonged.

I see that someday, that goodness
The day dreams are made of;
Celebrating life in all it's beautiful kindness.
I see that place, that tomorrow
Smiling, laughing, hugging, sharing, kissing!
With only one want left... more time to borrow.

Letting go...

Letting go...

Your smile, your smell, your eyes
Just a few things I adore so much;
Always hating all the goodbyes.

Your voice, your laugh, your touch
Brings a comfort I've never known;
Oh, your touch... I miss so, so much.

Loving you from the very start
You had me at first sight,
Took my hand and my heart.

Your dorkiness, will forever have me
From Star Wars to Master Chief,
Something real, is all I will ever see.

Loving you is like, a love I've never felt
It's that first taste of your favorite treat
Just a look, and every defense you melt.

Loving you is like, a warm summer day
Sunny, blue skies, with just a hint of a breeze;
My compass, my heart knows the way.

Loving you is like, a thousand stars in the night
Beautiful, mesmerizing, lighting all the dark;
Speeding my heart, every time your in sight.

Loving you is like, a babies first laugh
That first giggle, brings a smiling euphoria;
Looking at you, is seeing my other half.

Your hand, your hair, your kiss
The sweetest of indulgences;
Oh your kiss, I will definitely miss.

You're a northern star, a sweet tune
A thought of a favorite spot
An embrace in the night under the moon.

You're the anticipation of what's to come
That first gift on Christmas morning;
Someone with delicious food, and you want some.

You're the lighthouse in a foggy harbor
That first glance at land from months at sea;
The last bite of dessert and you want some more.

You're everything I never knew I wanted
You're my Sun Ray on a gloomy day;
My kryptonite encased in lead.
 
Just one last kiss, before my farewell
One last feel of your sweet tender lips
Ours is a great love story, someday to tell.

My love is eternal, my want must go
Letting go... how does one begin?
I love you more then you will ever know.

So my love, my light, my starry night
I have to close the door
Seal the vault, my love held tight.

I have to find a new tomorrow
A new day, a new beginning;
Someone to help with the sorrow.

I have to let go... say goodbye
Goodbye to the thought of you and I
But to say I don't love you... would be a lie.

I'll not share this day

No, I'll not share this day
For such a thing has an end;
I'll share forever and within me you'll stay.

I'll not count the minutes or hours
For time has no place or piece to mend;
In my heart, in yours is a home that's ours.

I'll not say good night or goodbye
I'll simply close my eyes and smile;
Only the mingling hearts know the why.

I'll not be sad at the time apart
Such a thing tells of times lost;
And no place in the tales of the heart.

When love is true, there is no end
It wakes each day with a smile to the coming Sun;
Life, hearts, journey, friend.

No, I'll not share this day
For such a thing has an end;
Forever my love, within me you'll stay.

Lost Angels

Lost Angels

Their grace, their strength, their loving smile;
A thousand laughs, they lifted our hearts.
Their warm embrace, melting our worries away
They were the sunshine in our lives.
Making each day a little brighter
They were the stars at night
Guiding us from all the dark.
They were the foundation
We built our lives, our homes, our families;
They made us laugh, made us cry.
But never did we doubt the love they had;
We all remember that one day among the many
Their look, that moment, replayed over and over.
We are thankful for all the days
Sharing the lives of beautiful souls.
Maybe they didn't change the world
But they changed ours, making us better.
Bringing laughs, smiles, happiness, joy, warmth;
A thousand other little things that made our lives complete.
We will miss our fallen Angels,
And never forget how they touched our lives.
And knowing our goodbyes are temporary
We shall meet them again in the afterlife.
Our tears of sorrow will once again
Become tears of joy, of love.
Today though we remember,
We remember them for the beautiful people they were
Filling our lives and our hearts.

I See

I see the world ever changing
I see the people growing
I see all that was, disappearing
I see all that will be, gaining;
I see the stars, shining
I see the oceans, waning
I see cultures, mixing;
I see colors, colliding
I see birds, soaring
I see little fish, swimming
I see ancient statues still standing
I see modern houses, collapsing;
I see babies, laughing
I see children, playing
I see fast bikes, revving
I see antiques, cruising;
I see beaches, glistening
I see mountains, everlasting
I see metropolises, flourishing
I see small towns, dwindling;
I see fresh snow, blanketing
I see heavy rains, flooding
I see art, inspiring
I see governments, conspiring;
I see couples, loving
I see marriages, ending
I see hands, holding
I see arms, embracing
I see families, uniting;
I see old values, dying
I see large companies, compiling
I see little shops still trying;
I see hatred still existing
I see knowledge as learning
I see individuals, hiding
I see the youth still striving;
I see flames, igniting
I see spring flowers, blooming
I see fireworks, exploding
I see the yearly births, celebrating
I see history, repeating;
I see Halloween, scaring
I see Christmas, twinkling
I see New Years, hoping
I see the future...

A Mother's Embrace

A Mother's embrace, is warm and tender
Filled with love and a magical splendor.
It soothes, when boo boos appear
It comforts, when thunder boomers are near.
It encourages, when all seems lost
It protects, no harm at any cost!
When we're weary, she tucks us in
When we're dreary, she makes us smile.
When we're lonely, she reminds us
She was there, all the while.
A Mother is a wonderous cosmic enlightenment
A blanketing warmth of everlasting smiles,
Understanding, patience and enjoyment.
She brings light even to the darkest night.
She brings kisses and even wishes,
A thousand hugs and heartfelt conversations
Pictures and loving memories at all the celebrations.
A Mother's embrace, is a million stars
Shining in the night sky, forever lighting.
It's a field of flowers, beautiful and refreshing.
For your happiness, she's forever fighting.
In sickness, she's soothing
In sadness, she's listening and embracing.
In anger, she is a voice of reason
A pillar, nurturer, blanket and beacon.
Selfless, caressing, believing
A Mother, a Mother's embrace is... loving.

You see me, I see you...

Two sides of the same coin
Reflections, reflecting back at me
 Magnets flipping to join.
One cannot escape, we all want to be free.
Free from the torments of yesterday
Of a thousand storms raging in our minds.
Holding the overwhelming floods at bay
When even the littlest of things, just reminds.
Of all that was, all that was lost.
Through the fog of yesterday we can't see the gain
Striving, searching we want the comfort at any cost.
The swelling tides, how they confuse and wane.
How can tomorrow tell new tales
New horizons, a future with a better you,
When each new prospect all but fails.
What is one supposed to do?
It's such a rare occurrence to find the same
To find your reflection in another.
But those fears, how do we tame?
The easy comfort, how do we smother?
I see you, you see me
Like no others, perhaps weirdos to the end.
After waiting a lifetime of what could be
Enough time with you, I could never spend.

Enjoyed a moment

Have you ever just enjoyed a moment?
The true essence of it?
Opening all your senses to that moment.
Suckled at the very heart of it,
Like a new born yearling, suckling it's momma.
Let yourself get lost in the wonderous
Magic that it is...
Time has no meaning, no depth
A second, a day, a week all lost to the cosmos.
A moment, a brief period of time as defined.
There is no ending till it's passed
It tantalizes us, plays with us, excites us.
Making us cry, smile, laugh
Maybe even your heart skip a beat.
It's that pause from life,
From all that usually is.
Let it dazzle you, surround you, absorb you.
For when it's gone...
All that remains is a memory.

A smile for tomorrow

If today would give you a smile.
If it would surround you in warmth.
And all the worried miles, became just one mile.
All the tomorrow's become a joyous place.
Yesterdays, a fading hint of once was,
And happy became tangible, creating our own space.
Our own moments, our own sunshine.
Is that the future you had in mind?
Because in your eyes, I can see mine.
If today would give you that smile
If it could shower you with hopes,
And all the waiting was made worthwhile.
Sunsets became celebrations for the coming night.
Stars, blankets covering a home
And sunrises bring joy with the coming light.
Butterflies and flying doves,
Is that the tomorrow to start all tomorrows?
An epic story, one of the rare loves.
If today would give you that smile
If it could wash away the sorrow,
And forever keep that beautiful smile.
Days fade to forever
Nights, comforting, touching dreams
Left behind is uttered, never.
Time becomes limitless in your embrace
Is that the eternal journey you wished for?
All the pain... we did erase.
If today would grant you that smile
And make all the yesterday's worthwhile
And keep you always, with that beautiful smile.

The Truest Essence

The Truest Essence

Love, in its purest essence
Is a volcanic explosion, sudden;
All at once, one is aware of its presence.
It asks for no glory or fame
Attention, it does demand;
A lingering thought, all the same.

It is the Thunder and Lightning
Clasping, colliding, booming!
Never forgotten, only subsiding.
It lingers, and plays in your mind
A favorite melody, humming, repeating;
No rules, no time, just mine.

So rare, it is mostly mistaken
My love, I've only just met thee?
Yet, my heart and all I am is taken.
That touch, the voice, that look
In a flash, a quickening;
It's all the words found in a romantic book.

Undeniably, and inescapably
One's own heart can go no further
An iron pillar, it stands faithfully.
Time and distance, does not subside
The lit fire, eternal flame forever burning;
It beckons, yearns, an alluring tide.

To love so absolute
A mountain, never faltering;
Such affection, one shall never dispute.
It is a calming peace
A tranquil moment, in all the turbulent;
A graceful lulliby, an orchestral piece.

Love, in its purest
Is beyond mere words and description
It's a sunset that shall not rest.
A falling star, forever falling
A flood, forever flooding
A northern star, never failing.

A million stars, shining in the night
Alone, never again;
A field of flowers, that beautiful sight.
"I love you" simply will not do
That mesmerizing, bewitching, spectacular grandeur;
Only that, my love for you, will forever hold true.

3 a.m. Phoenix

It's 3 am again, laying, thinking
Awake, eyes open blinking;
Staring into the darkness
In the night, I feel the loneliness;
Another Phoenix born
From a past ragged and torn.
We're meant to feel sorrow
From the loss, we look to tomorrow;
We're meant to remember and cry
Till our eyes are red and dry.
It causes us to learn
To reach out, to seek, to yearn;
To connect strangers
To wipe away all past angers;
Bringing new smiles and laughs
Another chance, at our other halfs.
We may never forget yesterday
But today dawns a new day;
Newborns, reaching out
With new joys that make us shout!
Phoenixes yearning, burning
Seeing that the world keeps turning;
That our shattered lives don't end
Just find new ways to mend.
Our torn and bruised heart
Piecing together part by part;
Knowing tomorrow brings new
Faces, kisses, misses, who knew?

I see you

I see you...
I see the elegant flair
I see more than the flick of your hair.
The walk in your steps, the glimmer in your eye.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist or secret spy.
I see you...
I see you hiding in that place few look,
I see you like the descriptive words in a classic book.
I see a beautiful flower,
I see the brilliant stars on a clear midnight hour.
I see you...
I know the loss and the pain,
I know that hurt... and the cause for restrain.
I know yesterday, but keep my faith in tomorrow.
That a new happiness can wash away the sorrow.
I see you...
I see a ridged mountain top, weathered by time
I see an oasis secluded and sublime.
I see a meadow filled with endless daisies,
I see a beach, two chairs and a pair of lazies.
I see you...
I see a home lost and forgotten,
The wood may be dusty, but is far from rotten.
A little work, some polish and love
She'll be right as rain and pretty as a dove.
I see you...

Reaching into the night...

In the dark, In that chilled dark. He reached out into the emptiness. The same emptiness he had become all to familiar with. That forever abyss, floating among the heavens. That well of endless depths, falling, falling. Many a nights he reached and grasped at the thought of hope. Reaching, like a child reaches for its parents bosom. Reaching like a plant growing in the jungle, yearning for an ounce of precious sunlight.

This night, he didn't reach. He didn't wonder what lied in that endless darkness. Comfort had touched him. Bled into his arms, a long lost exhilaration. There it was cradled in that moment. Caressing, surrounding, like the swaying of leaves in a mid-summer breeze.
He held tight to that moment. That timeless moment, forever a part of him. If only nurtured... what could that smallest of saplings be?

Dark and chill turn to warmth and light. Like Dawn's first light. Warming, heating, the fire rages on. Burning, Burning, scorching all in its flaming circle.
The once emptiness, now filled with... filled with a brightness. Surging in the darkness, growing, expanding, shining.

Waking, he reached into the night...

Paradise

Paradise

If one were to ever ask if I would recognize
Or realize when I was in paradise.
I would say " why yes I've been!"
But it might not be where you think
It's not Palm trees, sand and some mixed drink.
It is a place that makes me grin.

Wether it's warm or cold
Their is no one I'd rather hold.
Cuddling and holding hands.
Beautiful eyes and sweet kisses
If I had a genie, she would be all three wishes.
Laying there in the night, listening to the bands.

Abbracciare, and whisper sweet things
Thoughts drift of what tomorrow brings.
You see, paradise is not just a place.
Paradise can be finding that special someone
You feel like you've just hit a home run!
Where you can't wait to see their face.

Forever the Hopeless

Forever the hopeless

A day like any other day,
She walked into his life
Ponytail, cute smile
On those front steps
Thought of her for quite awhile.

Never a day would go a miss
To see her and her little sis,
We connected that first day
Barely six years old
I''ll never forget that first kiss.

A new town, new faces;
Again the girl next door
Straight hair and little sister
Who knew? Of all the places
Me, the cutie and her sister.

We laughed, we played
Held hands and listened
As we left the grass where we laid.
Were these two girls fate
Or just some random chance?

Flight missed, delayed
Till later that night;
And wouldn't you know
Another girl also had missed her flight
Again, delayed Till later that night.

An airline mix up pushed to first class
Seated next to the girl delayed
We talked, laughed, exchanged numbers
Again, fate? What can I say
Well played!

On a bus bound for the natural state
I met that poetic girl
And in that moment you just knew
But the kiss we should have had
Would have to forever wait.

Its the dream we all wish for in reality
That spark that just won't die
The trick candles always burning
The feeling, you never have to question why?
Keeping your heart forever yearning.

It's the romantic movie, novel
Where true love is just meant to be
The eternal flame burning fierce
Maybe it's just the hopeless romantic in me
That cupid's arrow could pierce.

That a love could just happen
With no warning and last the ages
Some call it Destiny others Fatum
Ones life already writ on the pages
But no proof of such datum.

I had given up hope to find another
When that blue eyed Angel appeared
She captured my heart from day one
Which some might say "that's weird"
After that night, I couldn't wait for another.

She held my hand in that dark theater
Spent a day at a park, a lake
A day that felt like a dream;
That I never wanted to wake
Put it on repeat and play again and again.

The first touches, kisses
The smiles that never end
The first and last thought of each day
And with each goodbye, all the misses
The hellos that always felt like the first "hey".

Some romances
Take time to nurture and develop
A heart that grows from tenderness
And affection to a glorious build up.
Often thought out, nothing left to chances.

Give me the flame that just won't stop
The heartbeat going zero to sixty
In two point three seconds
The days you never want to end
Never caring what's around the future bend.

Their voices, their smiles
Their eyes, those beautiful eyes
Memories stop being of places and times
They start being of them
And when you get to see THEM, again.

Give me that love
From the first moment to the last;
Forever burned on your heart and mind
The hopeless romance, hopeless no more
It started with a Hi, that forever love.

Young Love

You will never love more fiercely
Then when your young.
Never love so much as before
The hurt of heartbreaks.
Never love with such passion
As the unexpected romance.
Love in an open heart
Is wild and full of fire.
You will never smile more
Then those first hello's.
You will never think of the what if's
More then in those first moments.
But it's what's left after the aftermath
Of a thousand firsts.
It's the love that sinks and anchors
That's made to be everlasting.

A dream of freedom

A dream of freedom

The ramparts exploding over yonder
Shouts and cries, rejoice and terror;
For freedom and family I ponder.
The revelry echoes in the distance
A banner waves, torn and tattered;
Yet our hopes and mercies are not shattered.
Boom! Boom! The cannons roar on!
Ricochets and earth are flying,
Without recourse, the soldiers March on!
Fire! The Colonel shouts! and rifles bellow.
Cavalry galloping, Forward men!!
This field shall not be left hollow!
Explosions! The men fight with vigor and valor!
Onward! This land is ours!
That brave militia corps.
It's not conquering they fight for
No lesson to be taught, or recognition to earn;
But Freedom! And the hope for something more.
A day, they can look without oppression
And see those colors true
Free men and women, having won their secession.
Those colors true! The Red, White and Blue!
Cry out in yells of glory!
Send them another volley!
This is the start of our American story!
Shouts, and cannons and lead a way!
March! March! Play on drummer lad;
Freedom is our right! And we're here to stay.

Stop loving you...

Stop loving you?
Might as well ask me to stop breathing.
It can't be done
Ask an eagle to stop flying,
It can't be done
A flower to stop blooming,
It can't be done
The stars above to stop shining,
It can't be done
The rivers to stop flowing,
It can't be done
The oceans to just dry up,
It can't be done
The Sun to stop rising,
It can't be done
I can't stop loving you
Anymore then, I can pull out my beating heart
It can't be done
I will love you, till there is nothing but a wrinkle
And on my final day, you will say,
"You have to stop loving me now..."
And I will say, I can't stop loving you...
Anymore then the winds blow
The stars shine, And the rivers flow,
It can't be done.

I wish, dare I say

I wish, dare I say

Don't be another leaf in the wind,
Another passerby
Here for a moment, then drifting along.
Don't be another sad love song,
Echoing in the air
Playing chords over what's becoming a growing scar.
Don't be another shooting star,
Falling from the sky
A singular wish, blink and its no more.
Don't be another moment,
A glimpse at what if, a possibility
Be the forever, staying... here you belong.
Here you belong
The leaf, the song, the star, the moment!
Were the past, is no longer a torment.
Let me be the wall, that says no further.
Let me be the shield, that says don't hurt her.
Let me be the wind,
To carry all the leaves away.
Let me be the stereo,
Changing the tune, letting a new song play.
Let me be stars,
An endless wish, day or night.
Let me be your always,
That forever moment, I wish, I wish! with all my might!

Flower

Flower

Sitting there I couldn't help but stare.
Her beauty was beyond compare.
She sat so elegantly within the crowd.
Neither shameful or proud.

She radiated such vibrance, just sublime.
Its as if she had her very own Ray; of sunshine.
Her arms stretched, as if to welcome all
She was magnificent, even though she was small.

Oh colorful beauty! Let me look upon thee
Perhaps, just maybe you're looking back at me.
Our moment in that garden
My forwardness, you may have to pardon.

Just one last glance, before I go
Just exquisite my darling, how you glow.
But alas, like all good things my time is spent
Remembering that day, into the garden I went.

A thought if only

A thought if only

You are but a fleeting thought
A whisper in the wind
A gregarious lesson, all but taught.
You are but an echo in a canyon
A wave crashing upon the rocks, vanished;
In the deep depths, a great white's companion.

We can dance the dance
An epic chess match, move and counter;
A glorious tale at first glance.
Sweeping, we're swept away
Waltzing so casually, children at play,
Not for thyne sunset, we'd have forgotten the day.

Morning's dewy kiss
Upon my lips is such a sweetness;
Caught up in recklessness and life's bliss.
The aromatic essence of tender innocence
Coy intentions, and fire's warm attentions;
Left blanketed in abandoned suspense.

You are but a blooming rose
Left to wither and wilt;
Another tale that has come to a close.
Whisper such delicacies, just once more
Of chocolate delights and lovely yesterdays
A gentle stare as I close the door.

4

4

The four winds of my life
Surround me thru any turmoil or strife.
The four seasons of my world
Bring me happiness when things get a bit swirled.
The four phases of my midnight moon
Guide me, even in the worst monsoon.
The four horsemen, they are to me
Giving strength, courage and all I hope to be!
They are my compass, keeping my course
My iron will they reinforce.
They are my fire, my shining light in the dark
They're a northern star when all I needed was a spark.
They're my happy thought, my sunshine
A tropical oasis that's all mine.
The very air I breathe, is only a gust
Without those four, to go on, to live I must!
Have my winds, my worlds, my moons
Because without, all I've ever known becomes Ruins.

waking to another dream fading in the mist

Waking to another dream fading in the mist.

Blinking, it still feels like I'm sinking.
Drifting in and out of slumber,
Visions! Intuitively form once was.
An idea of you, of tomorrow,
Of the yesterday, when I knew.

Your face, your eyes, the characteristic.
All that is true, all that is you.
Forever changing, blonde, brunette.
Blue, green, hazel and brown.
The echoes of the variant voice all but drown.
Do I really recognize you?

The kiss of a hundred lips, forgotten.
Tastes of sweet nectar and berry wine.
Touches imprinting, then like the mist dissolving.
I see you, on a thousand souls
A thousand more, as they wander through.

Yearning for the fading memory,
The thought, the hope, the never-ending now!
Your torments on an aging soul.
Your everywhere! And nowhere!
Would I know, if you were front and center?

Drifting, into the ecstasy
The drunken stupor, mindless euphoria.
You wait there, in your many forms.
Am I waking? Or a dream fading?
I will take the ignorance, if you please!

Blinking, once more before the next.
Praying for one more blissful second
A final touch, one last embrace.
Waking once again to find,
I dreamt such a lovely face...

Hi!

Hi!

Pulse pounding, throat drying
Heart quickening, faster, faster!
Air escaping, focus breathing,
Deep breath, focus!
Thoughts racing, eyes glancing;
What to say! What comes next?
Is she busy? Is she looking?
Water, I need water!
Heart feeling
Like a dragster about to roar
To the finish line, REV! REV!
Body heating, where’s the breeze?
She’s beautiful, those eyes,
That smile, just do it!
Think clever, be clever,
No! Be witty, be funny!
When did my legs start moving?
She’s getting closer, closer!
REV! REV! Just breathe, water, AIR!
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP!
She’s looking, SAY IT!
Hi.

Let me in

Let me in
I can be your strength, a pillar for which to build upon.
I can be your shelter, holding you close when days go wrong.
I can be your friend, walking beside you conquering the obstacles of life.
I can be your guide, keeping your course true when all seems lost.
I can be your light, keeping you secure even in the darkest night.
I can be these and more, if only you let me in.
I can be your laughter, a clown to share in life's upside downs.
I can be your smile, like a mirror reflecting back at the beautiful you.
I can be your comfort, where you can let your hair down and be yourself.
I can be your cheerleader, cheering all your accomplishments.
I can be your support, when you don't feel accomplished.
I can be these and more, if only you let me in.
I can be your chef, food fights count as cooking right?
I can be your personal trainer, motivating, encouraging, inspiring.
I can be your masseur, massaging the stress away.
I can be your travel agent, a destination is only a whisper away.
I can be your daredevil, no worries I will go first.
I can be these and more, if only you let me in.
I can be your model, on those times you feel like dressing up.
I can be your partner in crime, did that just happen? What the cow patty? Nah.
I can be your superhero, making whoosh sounds in my underwear counts right?
I can be your warmth, when a blanket just won't do.
I can be the door, to new beginnings if you open it and let me in.
Let me in, if only for the chance of what if, what could be, and all the things we can be together.

Thinking of you..

Thinking of you..

Thinking of you is like
A night sky lit up by a million stars,
Brilliant and spectacular;
Thinking of you is like
That first rain across the Serengeti,
Full of life and the hope of a better tomorrow;
Thinking of you is like
A fading sunset on some tropical beach,
Radiant and full of beauty;
Thinking of you is like
The roaring of a fighter jet taking off,
Exhilarating and exciting!
Thinking of you is like
That favorite song that plays on and on,
It lingers in your ever waking thought;
Thinking of you is like
The morning dew on a spring flower,
Refreshing and nourishing;
Thinking of you is like
A warm fire on a cold evening,
Full of warmth and comfort;
Thinking of you is like
An eager puppy licking your face,
Smiles and laughter;
Thinking of you is like
A thousand favorites all at one time,
An everlasting joy and happiness;
Thinking of you is like
A heart and soul becoming one,
A love that endures the ages.

Just one night

Give me one night;
Filled with serendipitousness,
Mind blowing, butterfly chasing,
Star gazing, dancing in the moonlight.
Give me one day;
Filled with beauty,
Wind blowing, thrill seeking,
Nature enveloping, heart skipping,
Wondrous togetherness, splashing in the water.
Give me that perfect day and night
Filled with amazing nothingness.
Simple joys, and endless laughs,
Everlasting smiles, and precious moments.
Give me that twenty-four hours
Filled with all my hopes,
My exhilaration and celebration.
And in return for such cordiality.
I give you a lifetime;
A lifetime filled with generosity and surprises,
Warmth and affection.
Gentle caresses and never-ending kisses.
Long embraces and random adventures.
New places and new faces.
Cherished memories and timeless attentions.
I give you, my heart and soul.
My love, my time, my everything.
Just give me...
Just give me one night.

Be careful it's fragile!

Tip-toe Tip-toe
When rustling the leaves.
Tip-toe Tip-toe
When playing hide and seek with the man in the moon.
Crickle Crackle, Crickle Crackle
Walk light upon the thinning ice.
The fragility of what could be
One wrong step and like a deer they flee.
Whisper, Whisper
When telling tales in the wind.
Whisper, Whisper
Breathe light, and keep your fingers crossed, tight!
A wrong move and like a bird they take flight.
Topple, Topple
Careful now! Too fast and you've been Jenga-ed.
Perhaps too slow and you've been abandoned.
A lackadaisical attempt, I suppose
Maybe next time more conviction, and less whoas.
Ah yes! The delicate friable nature of it all
Patience and baby steps, small, small, small.
You wouldn't want to be the Big Bad Wolf
And scare them all...

Breath

Breath

Just a glimpse in the dimming light
Just a brush in the coming the night.
Yours becomes mine, becomes ours.
Beating, thump, thump, thump!
Closer, listen, ba-bump, ba-bump!
It’s spreading, like stormy showers.

Hearts and stars collide
The coming of a cosmic tide.
Whispers of forever floating in the air.
In the twilight, in the dark
Ignite me, it only takes a spark.
One space, one breath, we share.

Holding, touching, feeling,
Your gentle caresses, like a thief their stealing.

My ambitions, my cares, the fabric of my soul.
Your kisses, like sweet melon
Mapping ways to my heart like Magellan.
Returning the broken pieces another stole.

Whisper the words, any words
so we may drift in the winds, like gliding birds.
You and I disappear into we.
A thousand days and nights
Playing, sharing like sinful sprites.
One breath, in the dimming light, for you and for me.

Be Mine

Be Mine

Be Mine, if only for the day and night.
Be Mine, and we will play in the moonlight.
Below the heavens and stars
Among the pedals and candlelight.
A beautiful you shining in the twilight.
Our song echoing all the way to Mars.

Be Mine, share this moment, take my hand
Be Mine, we will write in the sand.
Frolick in the waters,

Ensnared in each other’s glare
Our hearts exploding, like a solar flare!
Laughing and splashing in those salty waters.

Be Mine, I’m not asking till the end of time.
Be Mine, just a little of your precious time.
How else will you solve the mystery,
Of my everlasting crush?
You keep me spinning and my head in a rush!
Oh say Yes! Before we fade into history. 

Be Mine, because roses are red and violets are blue
Be Mine, you’re amazing! The beautiful adorable You.
Hold me tight, don’t let me go,
Cherish you, cherish me, cherish this
Forever remembering, our first and last kiss.
In that fateful moment, under the starry glow.

Be Mine, Be Mine
My sweet Valentine...
This is our blissful moment and is truly divine.
Be Mine, Be Mine
My loving Valentine...
We’ll get drunk on Dionysus’s wine.
My beautiful, beautiful Valentine.

Welcome

Hi, and welcome to the place where the words begin. This will be one of several blogs as I venture forth down my new path. 

This particular blog will be solely for my poems, poetic thoughts and philosophical ramblings. And I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them. 

I should probably explain why "lost boy" before I leave you to my muses. 

I am the last lost boy, a boy without parents or actual family besides my children and friends I will forever cherish till the end. I've spent most of my life somewhere between here and the second star to the right. And although someday my body will age, my spirit will remain young always. 

I'm also a traveller, and have been from here to there several times. Maybe in a previous life I was a nomad, always wandering. And even though my travels are far from over. I'm hoping to settle a bit and actually experience the comforts of familiarity. 

I feel like I should have a longer introduction, so maybe at a later time I will describe myself in more detail. Or maybe I won't, maybe the who and the why are not as important as the mixture of words. 

So again welcome and enjoy the sweetness dripping from my thoughts.
